Triple-distilled Irish single malt whiskey (100% malted barley from a single Irish distillery) initially matured in ex-bourbon American oak casks, then finished for several months in ex-sherry casks (typically Pedro Ximénez, Oloroso, or Amontillado). The bourbon-cask base contributes vanilla, honey, light orchard fruit, and creamy malt; the sherry-cask finish layers in dried berries, raisins, sultanas, candied orange, walnut, demerara sugar, and a viscous mouthfeel. Bottled at 92-100 proof (46-50% ABV), often non-chill-filtered with natural color. Distinct from blended Irish whiskey (which includes grain whiskey components) and from unfinished ex-bourbon Irish single malt (lighter, less viscous, no dried-fruit/sherry character). Example: The Whistler P.X. I Love You Single Malt.
